Agate / Crystal Geode

Tan rinds with a scalloped rim hug a hazy lavender center.

This is an agate and crystal geode. Many geodes are cut or split to show the inner crystal lining, and the cut face is often polished while the outer rind stays rough. Duo of rounded halves with a thick tan skin and a frilled, brown inner edge. The left face is grainy mauve, while the right shows a pale ring and a small milky lump at the center. The surface is lightly polished. It is 3 inches wide, 3 deep and 3 high.

Frilly around the edges, plain-spoken in the middle.
